Repeat any cup. Dial in any bag. Tazzina remembers every brew you make and walks you through dialing in a new one. It gives you the control experts expect and the confidence beginners need. Espresso, pour-over, immersion, or stovetop, with your bag and roaster front and center. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan your coffee bag to find the bean. 2. Save a brew with your dose, grind, water, and tasting notes. 3. Dial in with guided steps, or on your own. SAVE EVERY BREW - Keep a brew for every bean, brewer, dose, and grinder you use. - Save more than one brew per bean. Pull it as espresso today, brew it on a V60 tomorrow. - Each brew holds your dose, grind, water or yield, ratio, temperature, and tasting notes. - Brew history keeps every past attempt, so you can go back to the one that worked. EVERY WAY YOU BREW - Brew espresso, pour-over, immersion, and stovetop. - Pick your exact brewer from 20 models, so each brew is tuned to it. - V60, Kalita Wave, Chemex, Origami, AeroPress, French Press, Moka Pot, Vietnamese Phin, Siphon, and more. DIAL IN, GUIDED OR MANUAL - Guided dial-in asks how your last cup tasted and tells you what to change next, one step at a time. - Manual mode hides the steps when you already know your way around. - Track water temperature alongside dose, grind, and yield. 200+ GRINDERS - Choose from 200+ grinders and dial in with your grinder's real numbers. - Add more than one grinder. Each grind setting stays tied to the grinder it was dialed on. - Calibrate a grinder so its brews line up with everyone else's, translated back to your own numbers. - Adjust your dose to match a bean's density, up to a couple of grams. - Scale a brew up or down and hold the same ratio. KNOW YOUR BEANS - Scan a coffee bag and jump straight to that bean. - See a bean's origin, roast level, process, tasting notes, and more. - A freshness curve shows whether a bean is resting, peaking, or past its best, tuned to the bean's roast level. - A grind nudge reminds you to grind finer as your beans age or when a bag sits a while without a brew, and updates your brew when you open a fresh bag. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY - Group beans into collections by taste, brew style, or mood. - Favorite the beans you loved so you can buy them again. - Archive a finished bag and keep its brew for when you rebuy. - Sort your beans by freshness, so the ones to brew next come first. SHARE COFFEE - Share a bean, a brew, or a whole collection as a link, or save it as an image to post anywhere. - A shared brew carries every setting, with the grind translated to the other person's grinder. - Saved collections stay live. Add or reorder beans and everyone who saved it sees the update. - Open a roaster's profile to find their coffees on Tazzina. A STARTING POINT FOR A NEW BAG - Tazzina suggests a starting point for a new bag based on the bean itself, so you are never starting from zero. - As people dial in the same bean, their brews refine the suggestion. - When enough data is available, the grind size is translated to your own grinder, so you know where to begin. BREW FROM ANYWHERE - Home screen and lock screen widgets show your current bean, brew, and freshness. - Check your beans and brews on Apple Watch. - Open a brew, scan a bag, or search from Control Center, the Lock Screen, or Siri. - Built for iPhone and iPad. FREE, PRIVATE, NO ADS - Tazzina is free. Every feature is included. - No ads, no pop-ups. - Your data is never sold to advertisers or data brokers. - Your library works offline and syncs across your devices when you are back online.
